Morgon : the oldest crus appellation of Beaujolais vineyard
From the Villié-Morgon terroir, which is where this appellation gets its name, Morgon is one of famous Beaujolais cru. Morgon wines are found in 6 well-known sites in the Beaujolais region: Les Charmes, La Côte du Py, les Micouds, les Grands Cras, Corcelette and Douby.
This soil consists of decomposing schist and molten rock, hence its rather uninviting nickname. Nevertheless, it is precisely this crumbly earth that gives Morgon its character and power.
Morgon does credit to the Beaujolais region by taking the intense nature of the soil where it is grown and making it even better, thanks to its bouquet of mature stone fruit. But its power resides in its unusual aromas of kirsch. Our Morgon wine are unique!
